What a wonderful weekend we've had!! Last night we went to The African Children's Choir Concert here in town...which again.....was such an amazing time!! Wish they were our worship team at church!!! There is nothing quite like hearing children worshipping The Lord!! Such a beautiful sound:) Then we had the opportunity to host a couple of the kids and a chaperone at our home for the night!! After we made it home, we had a snack, visited with the girls & then we were able to tuck them in for the night & say a prayer with them! To say we were blessed & had an amazing time is an understatement...After putting all 6 kids to bed last night...we laid in bed, and discussed our night...how gREAT is OUR GOD!!.....2 of the most precious Ugandan children tucked in.... upstairs in our home...our 4 sweet sleeping children...laying on our bedroom floor fast asleep...How blessed we are. We also have the opportunity to sponsor our two new friends.......
G & D!! When they heard we were sponsoring them...their eyes lit up...like the most twinkling stars I've seen...their smiles were beautiful!! This morning "G" was reading one of the brochures that we were given from the concert....it read..."Helping Africa's most vulnerable children today, so they can help Africa tomorrow!" She read it out loud...the tears welled up in my eyes...she knows that is her...but she has HOPE & DREAMS of a bright, beautiful future....her wish is to be a surgeon. My wish is that all of the beautiful children we met last night will have a sponsor...is that you?? contact...sponsorship@africanchildrenschoir.com for more information. This morning, after walking to the park, playing, eating breakfast & lunch with one another...we drove them to their bus...they sang the host families one last beautiful song...again, the tears filled my eyes...well, actually...all 6 of us. Kate cried all the way home...wondering, will she ever see them again..they bonded. They made an imprint on her 7 yr old little life. I am grateful. Grateful to have had this experience. We sent them off with a picture of our family & them..together. On the back I wrote. "You are loved." And now we trust. Trust that we will see G & D again. xo
that is beautiful Kristen!!
